As we mentioned last month on the blog, we’re looking forward to sharing some of the rare and incredible books in our personal library here at Atelier Viollet. This week we’re featuring The Modern Carpenter and Joiner and Cabinet Maker, volumes 1-8, with covers designed by Talwin Morris, published by The Gresham Publishing Company in 1902.
This comprehensive set of books covers a wide array of subjects pertaining to woodwork. A must-have for contemporary craftsman at the time of release, it is still a valuable resource for us that is often used. The book is over 100 years old, yet its original drawings and tutorial text still advise those who open it.
